• Wedding Dress

Description

Here is the wedding dress. Jamie and I designed it based on things we had seen and things we liked. Jamie wanted a short dress because our reception was in a show barn on the local fairgrounds – it was a summer wedding and a long dress would have made dancing hard. We like to dance; it’s how we met. We bought the fabric from Mood in New York. It’s a soft cotton fabric with just a hint of silverly shine from silver threads which are more prominent on the front; we used the backside of the fabric. It has four buttons on the back, but they are false; the dress closes with a zipper behind the panel on which the buttons are sewed. Both are families are impressed that I can sew and impressed that Jamie would trust me to sew her wedding dress.

Thanks to Ms. Natalie Good for the wonderful photos; also Marie Kuchenmeister.

Wow! First congratulations on your wedding – beautiful pics and you guys look happy! Second – congrats on getting your wife to agree to you making it! It was a wise decision on her part. I love it and I love how you guys accessorised her shoes to match your tie. Love love the pleat detail on the bodice. Wonderful!

I love the pleats detail on the dress, it looks like flower petals.
The photos are wonderful and the two of you are the cutest!
Big congratulations and many wishes for happiness and love in the future!

The dress is really beautiful! The styling is a 10 also. It really reflects who you guys seem to be. Congratulations on everything (dress….wedding). It must be a honor to make your wife`s wedding gown. I didn`t have that pleasure.

Beautiful, it took me till the end of the description to realize that it’s not the girl who sewed it, I guess in this case it was alright that you saw the dress beforehand! She looks so happy, I love it. Beautiful pictures, and congratulations!
